What is language for? Some people seem to think it’s for practicing grammar rules and learning lists of words--- the longer the lists, the better. That’s wrong. Language is for the exchange of ideas and information. It’s meaningless knowing all about a language if you can’t use it freely. Many students who I have met know hundreds of grammar rules, but they can’t speak correctly or fluently. They are afraid of making mistakes. One shouldn’t be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language. Native speakers make mistakes and break rules, too. Bernard Shaw once wrote, “Foreigners often speak English too correctly.”But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make. They’re English mistakes in the English language. And if enough native speakers break a rule, it is no longer a rule. What used to be wrong becomes right. People not only make history, but they make language. But a person can only make its own language. It can’t make another person’s language. So Chinese students of English should pay attention to grammar, but they shouldn’t overdo（做过头） it.
Language is used to _____.
A. express oneself
B. practice grammar rules
C. talk with foreigners only
D. learn lists of words

A. what they use will become right.
B. they are against the law
C. they should say sorry to others
D. they will become heroes
5. When we speak a foreign language, we should ______.
A. speak in the Chinese way
B. speak by the rules
C. speak to native speakers
D. not be afraid of making mistakes

One afternoon when Charlie Chaplin was sitting together with his friends talking, a fly flew into the room and kept flying around the great actor’s head. Charlie Chaplin waved his hands to drive it away, but the fly soon came back again. For once it even rested on his nose! The great actor got very angry. He took up a flyswatter and swung at it, but the fly got away in time. Then the offender stayed on the table before him. Chaplin lifted the swatter for the death blow--- he was sure this time he would kill it.

We know that many animals do not stay in one place. Birds, fish and other animals move from one place to another at a certain time. They move for different reasons most of them move to find food more easily, but others move to get away from places that are too crowded.
When cold weather comes, many birds move to warmer places to find food. Some fishes give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed. The most famous migration
（迁移）is probably the migration of fish, which is called “salmon”. This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt water. There it spends its life. When it is old, it returns to its birthplace in fresh water. Then it gives birth and dies there. In northern Europe, there is a kind of mouse. They leaves their mountain homes when they become too crowded. They move down to the low land. Sometimes they move all the way to the seaside, and many of them are killed when they fall into the sea.
Recently, scientists have studied the migration of a kind of lobster(龙虾). Every year, when the season of bad weather arrives, the lobsters get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the ocean. Nobody knows why they do this, and nobody knows where they go.
So ,sometimes we know why humans and animals move from one place to another, but at other times we don’t. Maybe living things just like to travel.
